We've been using Go in production for 4 or so months at customer.io and have been tremendously happy with the performance. My cofounder will rewrite some core function in go, deploy it to prod and get a 10x improvement. We are total converts.

10x improvement compared to what?
Our MVP was written in Ruby.
You know that nearly any compiled language would give such speed-ups compared to Ruby?
Of course, which was the main driver to moving to a compiled language. We just happened to choose Go :)
I've done a lot of Java and C++ in the past, and wasn't looking to go back to either of those.
